International Online Report: Thailand is a country with a relatively high proportion of Chinese people, and many traditional Chinese cultures have been passed down in Thailand. The Dragon Boat Festival is regarded as one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals by Thai Chinese, and Zongzi, as a representative symbol of the Dragon Boat Festival culture, is endowed with special significance. When the Dragon Boat Festival was coming, the reporter from the front desk visited the Chinese shops selling Zongzi and raw materials in Bangkok's Chinatown.

Every year when the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, shops selling Chinese food materials in Bangkok's Chinatown will be filled with various raw materials for making Zongzi. The Zongzi in Thailand came from Chaoshan area of China with the Chinese going to Nanyang. It is mainly divided into two types - vegetable zongzi and eight treasure meat zongzi, of which the latter is particularly popular. Babao Rouzong is very large in size and has a rich variety of fillings, including shiitake mushrooms, salted egg yolks, chestnuts, white fruits, taro, sausages, pork, peanuts, shrimp, and glutinous rice. It is also served with various seasonings. In the Chinatown area of Bangkok, there are many stores selling Zongzi, some of which are ancestral stores. Many people who come here to buy Zongzi are decades old customers. The owner of the Zongzi shop, Wu Ticai, said, "My original Zongzi shop has been open in the old market for more than 30 years, and later moved here for more than 10 years. My parents had operated the Zongzi shop for 33 years, and together we have sold Zongzi for more than 70 years. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, we can sell thousands of Zongzi, and when we were young, we were very happy because we could eat Zongzi. Every traditional festival like the Dragon Boat Festival, the younger generation would return home to get together, worship their ancestors, and eat reunion dinner together. This is a very good tradition, and sometimes family members can We haven't seen each other for months, but every Chinese traditional festival, children always remember to go home to participate in the family worship ceremony. I think this is an important connotation of traditional festivals. Some Chinese families have dozens of people, and every festival, all the children come back for a party, which is very lively."

The area around Bangkok's Chinatown is a gathering place for Chinese people, and the Thai Chinese community has a strong sense of seeking roots and identification with the Chinese bloodline in their hearts. Therefore, many second and third generation Chinese still maintain the tradition of celebrating traditional Chinese festivals here. Zongzi is not only a delicacy of the Dragon Boat Festival in Thailand, but also represents the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture overseas. Chinese customers who came here to buy Zongzi told the young generation of Chinese in Thailand that they had spent various traditional Chinese festivals with their elders since childhood. It has become a part of their life to reunite with their parents or grandparents and attend ancestor worship ceremonies in important festivals such as the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Eating Zongzi every Dragon Boat Festival has also become an important way for Chinese traditional culture to be passed down from generation to generation. The younger generation of Thai Chinese, Natapong, said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in Chinese culture. I have celebrated it every year from childhood to adulthood, and in Thailand, I can also feel a strong sense of Chinese culture. I love Chinese culture very much because I am a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and a Chinese son and daughter."

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
